I bought sections 2 and 3 of the Atlantic Coast route to do a tour from NJ to Washington DC which I did over Easter. I decided to do the whole route this summer and purchased the entire route as it was cheaper than buying the missing remaining sections individually.

I am new to touring and have been purchasing my equipment all year and have researched things as much as possible. I went with Ortlieb Bike Backers in the rear and took my first week long tour last week and loved them. I biked through those huge rainstorms in the east and did not get one drop inside the panniers and the connecting system to the bike was so easy to use. I would buy them again.

The list price was $200 with REI. I used their 20% off coupon, plus I went through Ebates and Edeals for more discounts and don't forget the membership points points with REI. They were well worth the money.
